The long-awaited TV return of Rick Grimes and Michonne is finally here. After years in development and the end of the franchise’s original series, the new spin-off featuring the OG show’s main character and his wife is getting strong reviews and reigniting interest in the once mammoth zombie saga. But international fans are asking how to watch The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in the UK.
Before we get into that, let’s take a brief look at what fans can expect from the new series.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live follows the story of Rick Grimes after his apparent death in Season 9 of the original show and Michonne’s journey to find him. We also get to see what Rick has been up to in during the intervening years and what happens once the long-lost pair come back together.
While The Walking Dead staggered on like a reanimated corpse way past its prime, the return of Rick Grimes has seemingly sparked a resurgence for the franchise. As of writing, The Ones Who Live has an impressive score of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
With such positive enthusiasm for the new series, let’s take a look at how to watch The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in the UK…
How to watch The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in the UK
This is how to watch The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in the UK: The new The Walking Dead spin-off is not available on any traditional TV channels or streaming platforms in the UK, that means the only way for UK fans to watch the show is to get a VPN to access AMC+.
In the US, The Ones Who Live airs on AMC. It is also available on AMC+, the network’s associated streaming service.
Ordinarily, AMC+ is not available to people in the UK. However, using a VPN (virtual private network) makes US-only streaming services like AMC+ available to people in other countries by connecting to servers based in the United States.
How to get a VPN
Getting a VPN is easy and there are countless options to choose from.
Services such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and TunnelBear allow you to connect to American servers and access content that would otherwise be geo-blocked in the UK. They’re also great for connecting to UK servers when you go abroad.
However, there are many more VPN services to choose from. Check out this guide from TechRadar which details the best VPNs in 2024.
How to use a VPN
Once you’ve chosen your preferred VPN, sign up and install it on your chosen device. Most services support Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS.
In the VPN’s settings, connect to a server based in the United States.
From here, visit AMC+ via the app or website (or any streaming service you want to use) and follow the usual sign-up process.
After signing up, make sure the VPN is active whenever you open the desired app/web browser. All the content that would otherwise be geographically blocked will be available.
